Chapter 532 Spending money on the black pot
After seeing the visitor, Huang Changzong was stunned. He didn't expect that the person who came was actually the Wei Dynasty.
In this Wei Dynasty, Huang Changzong did not dare to slack off. This is one of the most intimate eunuchs around the emperor.
You must know that in the palace, such eunuchs are not accessible to ordinary people.
In today's imperial court, there are a total of 4 great eunuchs who are well known.
One of them is Wang An, who originally had a very high status. It's just that after the current emperor ascended the throne, Wang An suffered from the cold for a while. However, this person can be regarded as having the means, and he quickly hugged the queen's thigh. Now he is in Cining Palace, living in Empress Zhang, which can be said to be very, very powerful, and part of him is still in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and he has a great right to speak in the Internal Affairs Office, which can be regarded as a node of communication between Huang Changzong and the Inner Court.
There is also Chen Hong, the personal eunuch of the current emperor, he is responsible for many things in the entire palace, and even Jinyiwei has some entanglements. In such a situation, Chen Hong is not easy to mess with, he has a lot of power, and he can hide if he can.
In addition, the father-in-law Wei Zhongxian Wei of the East Factory is naturally also ranked high. In recent years, although the emperor has reused Jinyiwei, no one underestimates Dongchang, after all, this Gonggong Wei has always been His Majesty's henchman, and there is also Cui Chengxiu, a civil official, who has done a lot of things in recent years. Although it doesn't move much now. But the status is there.
The Wei Dynasty in front of him is even more unusual. At the beginning, he was also a first-class favored eunuch in the palace, and later after the emperor ascended the throne, the Wei Dynasty went to Liaodong and accompanied Xiong Tingbi in that place in Liaodong. After a few years of hard work, Liaodong won a great victory, and then he was transferred back to the emperor's side.
Now the reputation of the Wei Dynasty has spread, and the relationship with the pro-army is also very good, and the pro-army commander Yamen is usually contacted by him, and his status is also very high.
This time, the emperor traveled and brought two eunuchs, one was Chen Hong and the other was the Wei Dynasty.
At this time? The Wei Dynasty came here? There's something going on!
Huang Changzong hurriedly stood up and went straight to the side of the Wei Dynasty? He arched his hand and said, "I've seen my father-in-law." ”
After hearing this? Cao Bang, who was sitting behind Huang Changzong, stood up suddenly.
At this time, Cao Bang's face was full of disbelief? His body swayed and almost sat on the ground.
The person in front of him is actually a father-in-law, so what does it mean?
It means that the emperor is here!
The emperor is here? What did you just say?
Nervousness about Cao Bang? Wei Chao didn't care at all, just glanced at him and withdrew his gaze.
His eyes fell on Huang Changzong's body, and Wei Chao said, "Okay, you're welcome." You're talking about the same thing, aren't you? Then come with us. ”
Finished? Wei Chao turned around and walked outside.
Huang Changzong hurriedly glanced at Cao Bang? Gave him a look,
As for whether Cao Bang understood it, Huang Changzong at this time couldn't take care of it, turned around and walked outside. When the emperor summoned him, he naturally did not dare to delay.
Cao Bang was already panicking at this time? forced himself to calm down, and then walked out with Huang Changzong.
After the two of them went out? Directly transferred to the third room of Tianzi, and then was brought in by the Wei Dynasty.
Huang Changzong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Minister Huang Changzong? See Your Majesty. ”
Cao Bang on the side knelt on the ground with a plop.
It's not so much a big bow as it is a scared knee. And at this time he was really speechless? Don't even dare to lift your face? Kneeling? Touch the ground with your head.
It's so scary, the emperor is actually here!
I'm afraid the emperor has already heard what he said just now!
No wonder Huang Changzong always interrupted his words just now, and guided himself, this is not to let himself say those words!
In such a situation, I still talked nonsense!
Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch at this time, looking at Huang Changzong and the two with expressionless faces.
Chen Yuer sat beside Zhu Youxiao and waited, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand and wiping Zhu Youxiao's lips. As for the following scene, she didn't seem to see it.
Chen Yuer has seen a lot in the past few days, and not seeing anything is the best performance.
Zhu Youxiao didn't care very much, and then said, "Get up." ”
After Huang Changzong and the two stood up, Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Changzong and said, "The person you worked so hard to protect doesn't seem worthy of your protection. I thought it would be a smart one, but I didn't expect it to be just not too stupid. ”
Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Huang Changzong's face suddenly showed an embarrassed look, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister just wants to recruit a talent for the imperial court. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "There are too many stupid people in this world, and there are also many talents. That Ye Chi of the Ye family is a talent, right? And his ancestors are also talents, right? But what did they do? ”
"Sometimes, people are afraid to be smart. Daming is so big and there are so many people, there is no shortage of talents. But you're doing a good job, but your vision isn't very good, and you're not a talent. ”
Huang Changzong hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." The minister is short-sighted and asks His Majesty for forgiveness. ”
At this time, we must decisively admit it. To put it bluntly, since His Majesty is willing to meet Cao Bang, it proves that what he has done is useful.
As for saying these things that His Majesty said, it is nothing more than a beating on himself. For those who are courtiers, listening to His Majesty's lectures is also one of their jobs, so as not to give birth to pride, otherwise the emperor will only have to kill disobedient courtiers.
Tapping is an essential process, and no matter how things turn out, this process must have.
Huang Changzong accepted it very easily, and his attitude was sincere and respectful.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and did not continue to say anything.
He knew that Huang Changzong was a smart man, and he could already say this himself.
Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Cao Bang.
At this time, Cao Bang knelt down again.
The last time he screamed, he was a little weak. Later, when I heard Zhu Youxiao say that, I naturally couldn't stand it.
Glancing at Cao Bang, Zhu Youxiao said, "Put away your careful thoughts." I am a great tomorrow, rich all over the world, and I follow my words. If it weren't for Huang Changzong's intercession for you, your family would have ended up with the Han family by now. ”
"I came to Jiangnan this time to clean up the salt merchants. Insatiable greed, bribery officials, I won't talk about the crime, you all know it in your own hearts. ”
"Over the years, the court has been chaotic, the party is the same, and I don't have the heart to clean you up. But now I have that in mind. Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. I say what I say. ”
"Since Huang Changzong has protected you, then give you a chance. You can't make salt, hand it over. I don't want your land, keep it for yourself, it's a reward for you. I don't want a ceramic shop, so I do it well. ”
"Alright, that's it, go down. Cooperate with the Department of Communications to investigate the case clearly, what to do. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Bang hurriedly said: "After I go back, I will count it immediately, and it will be delivered immediately." ”
After speaking, Cao Bang stood up and wanted to walk out, but he stumbled directly and almost fell to the ground.
Huang Changzong hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand to support Cao Bang, and walked out together.
After the two of them left the house, Cao Bang gasped heavily, and his face was covered with cold sweat.
Then, he bowed to Huang Changzong and said, "Brother Huang is very kind today, and Cao has nothing to repay." In the future, if there is anything, as long as Brother Huang says a word, Cao will never refuse. ”
After hearing this, Huang Changzong helped Cao Bang up, and said with a wry smile: "Let's pass." ”
Huang Changzong knew in his heart that although he had done it this time, I was afraid that the future would not be easy, so let's work hard for a while, otherwise it would be over.
At this time, Chen Hong walked out of the house, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Our family will send you." ”
Looking at Chen Hong's bright smiling face, Huang Changzong's hearts were tight.
They didn't think that Chen Hong was really a gift for the two of them. With the status of the two of them, it is not worth Chen Hong to send it at all.
It's clear that there's something.
After sending Huang Changzong and the others out of the door, Chen Hong said with a smile: "This Jiangnan is really prosperous, and there are attractive places everywhere. That's great! ”
After speaking, Chen Hong turned around and walked in the door.
Cao Bang hurriedly grabbed Huang Changzong at this time and asked, "Brother Huang, what does this Gonggong Chen mean?" ”
After hearing this, Huang Changzong said, "What else can this mean? Jiangnan is prosperous. Why are there so many flowers? And not because of the money? He's talking about money. ”
Can this all be associated with money?
Cao Bang's face was confused.
Although Cao Bang is a businessman, although he has dealt with officials, he has contact with everything, he goes straight to ask for money, he is elegant and plays antiques, calligraphy and painting, and he likes red sleeves and incense to ask for beautiful women, and he often can't escape the wine and wealth.
It's easy to deal with if you find the rules, but this one doesn't seem to play cards according to the routine, and he sighed a sentence like a brocade. What does this have to do with money?
However, Cao Bang still believed what Huang Changzong said, after all, people have experience and have just saved themselves.
Cao Bang asked directly: "What should I do?" ”
At this time, Huang Changzong naturally had no scruples, so he didn't hide it and said directly: "Take care of your family's floating wealth, don't leave too much." It is best to sacrifice them all according to the degree of the raid, the reason is that I hope that the imperial court will help to settle these shipwrights and people. ”
"You yourself are going to become an official in the court, and you can no longer take care of their livelihood, so I hope that the court will take care of it on your behalf, and it is understandable to come up with more money. Of course, the exact numbers should not be released. ”
"You abandoned them for the sake of becoming an official, and you can only give some monetary compensation. To put it bluntly, you have to spend money, and you have to carry the black pot. ”
